a popular, easy-to-grow houseplant known for its large, glossy, leathery leaves in dark green, deep maroon, or variegated patterns (with cream, pink, or yellow). Native to Asia, it's an air-purifying tree that can grow tall indoors, featuring prominent veins and a milky sap (latex) when cut, which is mildly toxic. It thrives in bright, indirect light and well-draining soil, tolerating some underwatering, and adds a lush, tropical feel to homes.
